Kelly Ripa on Husband Mark Consuelos' Narcolepsy
video description
My brain doesn't produce orexin, my sleep cycles were simply chaos with mostly REM sleep (dream sleep) and not enough deep recover sleep.
Every day I acted in an hyperactive way in order to stimulate me and never sit down too long, I didn't sleep a lot in fact, 8hours adding nights and the mini naps occurring in classroom for exemple, a lot of narcoleptics didn't sleep a lot but very very badly that's the key point, you're always like if you were at the nightclub all night and sleep 2hours.
I hope one day more and more young people can have the diagnostic early, because that's destructive all the comments you receive all your life, destructing your confidence, your social life, your school days.

Jimmy Kimmel plays down his Narcolepsy, but it doesn't have simple symptoms and being afflicted by it can have many negative effects upon your lifestyle and those about you. I know how ex Sarah Silverman shrugged off the idea of Jimmy having it in a very negative way. Narcolepsy is a seriously disabling condition in extreme cases and has destroyed my life, I have probably always had it. But like many pushed it to the back of my mind, blamed it on another illness or lifestyle choice. An example of how strong the sleep attacks are is that I fell asleep next to a Speaker at a gig and it destroyed my inner ear. When I finally collapsed and could not blame it on anything else my life changed. I take a mix of 15 tablets a day, if you suspect you may have Narcolepsy see a doctor and demand to be taken seriously. Narcoleptics are x7 times more likely to take their own lives than the national average, You need help and can be treated for this and the tetrad of the conditions symptoms.

I don't see why people tell me to get diagnosed when I have or have had all the symptoms of narcolepsy since age 14. I am 22 now. And I honestly don't know why it's so commonly misdiagnosed. I mean if you put illnesses like depression aside and put age of onset aside and just look at the symptoms being experienced, it's not that hard imo.

I can fall asleep anywhere, too. This video makes me feel a little better. The other day I was looking for something under my passenger seat and fell asleep with my arm under the seat.

I'm diagnosed Narcoleptic and I used to go to the bathroom at work to nap when felt sleep attack coming on. Never got caught but can imagine how embarrassing that would be.

I think I know why anyone married to Kelly Ripa would have narcolepsy. I wouldn't get any sleep with her either. How does she get sleep though?

I can sympathise with exactly what she's saying. I did the sleep test for my diagnosis and they told me I can fall into deep sleep within 3 minutes. :)

Even on proper meds you can take them and fall asleep. It's mostly about staying active during the day and having prescribed naps of necessary.
